I just realized I totally managed to 100% skip Blu-Ray.

Yeah, this is more like the used car dealership noticing that a lot of their clientele drives Toyotas. SPIES!

Not without making calls to c-bound processes that plug into the event loop or two independent JS run-times talking to each other which is also possible on the web through iframes …

setTimeout uses the same message queuing system as XHR, DOM events, or communicating with stuff that has its own stack like iframes or workers. That's why a function with a timeout…

Or just use something like twig where the whole point is to have your view data sorted BEFORE you get to templating, which IMO, is the real source of clutter. Template systems shou…

Isn't kind of the height of stupidity to attempt to secure transactions on any client-side app? - a javascript developer

Check the news. Major DDoS attacks today since this morning in the US.

Can't we all just agree to blame it on the sales guys?

But oh-so-handy for validating e-mail addresses.

Does it have to be common or just regularly enough encountered for it to become seriously irritating.

Booth-babe stuff aside, I thought the article was primarily about being non-technical at a startup.

You can write perfectly performant apps in most languages. The problem is often the communities that surround them. Node.js has some nice advantages but I wouldn't compare by perfo…

This is brilliant.

I didn't say I recommended he come back to the US any time soon.
